HE WAS
a Novelist's Opinion of the Famous
IgnatIus DonHelIy.

A Cheyenne man, who resided in
Washington Just before the wal and came
West to fight Indians, because, as Lie ex-
pressed it, he disliked trouble of any
sort, was well acquainted with Ignatius
DOnnelly, the man who denounces
Shakespeare as a literary swordfsh. The
Interpreter of antique ciphers was then
member Of congress from Wisconsin.
Anthony Trollopc, the novelist, heard
him speak one day. The Grafton was a
TRADE of abuse against the Washburne
family in general and Congressman Wash
burne more particularly. DopuelIy con-
cluded by gravely declaring that each
member of the tribe was birthmarked
with a monogram OS, indicating the
Office seeking propensity of his adversary
and relatives.
Next day while Trollope was being
driven about the city he was approached
by a horseman who knew him. The ami
NAL splashed a few drops of mire upon
upon the attire of the romancer. The
apologies of the rider were abject and
profuse. Pray cease" said Trollope,
smilingly, the brute did not commit the
otfen-e purposely. By the way" he
continued after the interested manner of
one who Unexpectedly stumbl,s upon a
NV idea, II can suggest a name for your
mount Just dub him ponnelly. That
man is undoubtedly the most accomplished
mud-slnger extant."

The most practical store in the terrific
ry is Clary & Collamer's Fair" on Eddy
street. The line of goods which they
carry delights the heart of every house
keeper, because she can find there articles
of practical every day use. The prices of
their goods are what Clary & Collamer
chiefly pride themselves on. Until one
has visited the place he cannot realize
how goods of such quality could be sold
at such close margins this far west. The
store is now filled with a choice variety of
goods which it will pay every one in
town to examine before buying elsewhere.

Special Correspondence of THE LEADER.
LusK, Wyo., Oct. 81, 1S87.-Jos. Nc
Gonigle, well known in Cheyenne, reached
this point yesterday. In his capacity as
agent for I. a. Kent, and possibly as
deputy sheriff, he at once assumed control
of the Baker & John on store, the pio-
neer mercantile establishment of this sec
ton. 1t is announced that the stock will
be inventoried and that if no other ar
rangemenLs are made, it will be disposed
OF at private sale as soon as possible. The
failure of tho enterprising and popular
firm is greatly regretted here, and the
wish is often expressed that they may be
enabled to resume business at an early
date.
Ten train loads of cattle are being held
in this vicinity awaiting the procurement
OF cars. So soon as the company provide
the rolling stock the animals will be for
warded to Chicago.

Jas. Kinney. at various times connected
with different livery stables in this city,
and more recently int, rested in the Park
stablts with J. y. Woods, left Cheyenne
rather suddenly four monthssince and did
not find time to apprise friends of his
whereabouts until la>tweek. When Kinney
left it Was with a laconic and emphatic dec
laration to the effect that ''once in Gods
country he'd never return to Wyoming"
From the ep site indited to his Cheyenne
acquaintance it is quite evident that the
bucolic Iowa methods are unsuited to his
western ideas. He states that be has con-
tracted a matrimonial alliance with an
heiress of the Temperance banner state
and is comfortably settled, but will soon
return to Cheyenne and embark in the
livery business.

lowing inscription on one side. in raised

Presented to the
LADIES AID SOCIETY,
of Buffalo, Wyoming,
BY @. z. ORGAN, 1887.
Some months ago, Mr.. Organ promised
the Aid Society, in his unpretentious way,
that it should have a bell in its own right,
to be disposed of as the society saw fit.
The Congregational church has been with
out means of calling the worshipers to-
gether since the new school house was
finished, the church society and its auxil
larry champion, the Aid Society, being
engaged in paying off the church debt
and thus unable to invest in a suitable
bell. This handsome gift by Mr.. Organ
fills the want, and as soon as a tower
can be built, the bell will be placed in
position.

Intelligence,

Hoard'S Dairyman in answering a
correspondent who complains because
a creamery in his neighborhood only
paid twelve cents for cream, and
bought by the oil test, speaks at some
length and then closes as follows:
We know full well that there are
dishonest, mean creamery men. but
they run their race mighty quick.
All over the northwest can be found
creameries up to the hundreds, which
are lying idle to-day just because the
community in which they were built
was composed, in the majority. of just
such men as our correspondent.
One thing is certain, and that is a
good creamery or cheese factory will
do much toward making intelligent,
well posted men of its patrons, if they
will only come to the scratch and learn
all that the situation gives them. Hun
dreds of thousands of farmers are get
ting more for their cream to-day than
they would get for their butter, just
because the creamery takes say what
would be a hundred samples or more
of ill made butter and makes one num-
Der one sample of the whole.
Patrons should try to keep as well
posted as the creamery man. If they
are intelligent and know what the
market demands, that will keep him
honest and energetic. The trouble is
the reverse is too often true. We know
of hundreds of creameries where there
are not more than three or four patrons
in the lot who are readers of our dairy
papers or who strive in any way to keep
posted and these creameries are in a
constant state of fOment. Invariably
it will be found that those creameries
where the patrons are the most intelli-
gent and take the most pains to know
their business, there the business runs
the smoothest and the patrons are the
best satisfied and steady in their pat
ronage.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1887-06-23

All wishing to look through the
creamery are requested TO call between
. O'Clock A. NJ. and noon.
The creamery is now making about
700 pounds of butter per day and will
probably make l 600 or 1900 pounds
per day by the first of July.
One of the most interesting points
connected with the operating of the
creamery is the method of testing the
butter vdlue of all cream bought. The
cream is first measured by the collector
in pail made for that purpose and a
record made of the number of inches.
Then, after thoroughly stirring it
sample is taken out in glass tube nine
Inches long and three-fourths of an
inch in diameter, the tube being filled
to graduated mark just five inches
from the bottom.
These tubes, each containing sam
pie from a different batch of cream are
all put, on the following day, into a
rack or churn made for the purpose
and shaken until "the butter comes"
They are then placed in scalding water
TO melt the butter, which operation is
repeated once or twice, when upon
being allowed to stand for few mo-
ments all of the oil in each tube rises
to the top. Now, as the amount of oil
in milk or cream is in exact proportion
to the amount of butter it will make,
the oil is measured and from that. the
amount of butter in each batch of
cream received the day before is calcu-
lated. Thus each patron virtually sells
his butter by the pound without having
to make it.

Dairy Notes.

A large amount of milk set into a
small amount of water will warm it up
pretty quick. 1t is therefore important
to give special attention to the keeping
of the water cold for the first hour
after the milk is set.
Nearly all the patrons of the cream
cry who have no ice this year have
made up their minds TO put up lot
for next summer. The writer thinks
that in-as-much as ice grows so mag.
nifieently abundant in this region dur
ing certain season of the year, no
farmer, or anyone else in fact shoHld
be without during that other certain
season, when cream naturally sours
and butter gets soft.
Don't forget to salt the cows regu-
larly, or better yet, keep supply in a
dry place where they can get what
they want. After cows have become
little accustomed to it they will eat
no more than is good for them.
1t pays to feed cows a little grain
every day in the year.
